Key Features & Benefits:

• One-way exit mechanism: Allows rats to leave a building freely while preventing re-entry, reducing the likelihood of rodents becoming trapped indoors during proofing or drain repair work.
• Detachable, off-centre wall plate: Can be cut or drilled to suit most installations and fitted either way up, giving installers greater flexibility across different entry points.
• Standalone valve option: The valve can be fitted on its own, without the wall plate, where space is restricted.
• Sturdy, reusable construction: Built to withstand repeated use, making it a durable addition to a proofing toolkit.
• Simple operation: Straightforward to install and use, without the need for specialist tools beyond standard cutting or drilling equipment.
• Supports faster job resolution: Complements existing control measures when used alongside them, helping bring jobs to a quicker conclusion and creating scope for additional work.
• Reduces dead rodent risk: Lessens the probability of dead rodents being left within the property as a result of rodenticide use.
• Humane control option:: Provides a humane method of control where required.
• Suited to restricted-access properties: Particularly useful for buildings with limited or no access to subfloor areas, where conventional control methods are harder to implement.
• Made in England: Manufactured in England.

How to Use

The Rat Ban should be installed as close to ground level as possible. Where the installation point is more than 3 inches (approximately 75mm) above the external ground level, a platform, such as bricks, timber, or an upturned bucket, should be used to help the rat reach and use the valve to exit. The wall plate can be cut or drilled to fit the specific entry point, and because the opening is off-centre, it can be fitted either way up for added flexibility. Where the wall plate is not suitable, the valve alone can be fitted directly into the access point.

Why Pest Controllers Choose This Product

Pest control professionals use the Rat Ban to reduce the risk of trapping rodents inside a property once proofing work begins, a common complication when entry points are sealed before all rats have left. The product complements existing control measures, helping technicians reach a conclusion more quickly while creating scope for additional work. Its sturdy, reusable construction means it can be fitted, removed, and reused across multiple jobs, and its simple design does not require specialist training to install.

Additional Information

Each Rat Ban is supplied with one wall plate, one valve, and the necessary fitments for assembly. It is manufactured in England. Because the wall plate is detachable, the unit can be adapted to installations where a wall plate is unsuitable or unnecessary, by fitting the valve alone. The product is intended for professional pest control use as part of a wider proofing and rodent exclusion programme.
